I really would have preferred the narrative this time be a male POV character. Lord knows I want more equality in gender and ethnicity, but Rey really worked narratively, this feels a little like they’re running with the in-thing of feisty young YA protagonists. I want equality, not fads. Twice in a row kind of takes away from how utter thrilling and moment defining I found it to have such a great female character in the ‘Luke’ roll for The Force Awakens.

Having said that, it’s a minor niggle in an otherwise great looking new Star Wars film

So six times in a row with a male protagonist is fine but two in a row with a female is a bit much?

I’m amazed at this comment to be honest. I don’t really define what entertains me that way.

I know, I know, It’s not even like me to think that to be honest. I was just really sort of looking forward to a character I could empathize with more in this one. You’re right, it’s selfish after having the originals, especially growing up.
